The past few years have seen great progress in rosacea research, including genetic variants tied to the disorder, new pathways for potential advances in therapy and distinguishing between subtype 1 and sun damage. Read all about it in this special issue of Rosacea Review.

While dermatologists are the most likely to provide ongoing care, family physicians, eye doctors and nurse practitioners among other professionals are also recognizing the signs and symptoms of rosacea.

While visible blood vessels may often appear in subtype 1 rosacea, they can also develop from sun damage. Now a new NRS-funded study has documented for the first time the clinical differences between the two.

While rosacea symptoms can be subtle or complex, and our new "When to See a Doctor" page provides information on spotting the early warning signs of rosacea that can tell you it’s time to seek professional diagnosis and appropriate therapy.
